From Here to Paternity by Jill Churchill

SynopsisVacationing at a Colorado ski resort with a couple of friends and an assortment of offspring, suburban sleuth Jane Jeffry is horrified when she careens into a snowman that hides a dead body inside of it.

ReviewAs all the Jane Jeffry mysteries are, From Here to Paternity is a light and fluffy mystery with lots of character interaction. Jane's neighbor invited her to visit a ski resort and share her opinion of whether it would be a good investment for the neighbor's husband. While there, Jane, as per usual, discovers a couple of bodies and sets off to discover the murderer with or without the help of detective boyfriend Mel. I liked the resort setting and appreciated the chance to see most of the characters outside of their normal, everyday situations. I was a little confused as to why Jane's opinion about investment property was important, but I guess you had to get her near the bodies somehow.
